The Shin Railway.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: 1t Is with
regret that have again to ask the insertion of
few lines of comment on an article in your
issue of Wednesday over the signature OF the
chief engineer of the ship railway.
In an editorial OF Friday last 1t was asserted
that knew, or ought to have known, that an
owner in the White Star line and other ship
owners were willing TO make use of the Tehuan-
tepec ship railway. when built. Notwithstand
ing this knowledge, had published In the
Baltims ere Sun that there were no such Ship
owners.
j made the assertion in your issue of Tuesday
thntI knew nosuch shipowners, and demanded
q list of their names and their vessels and OF
their tonnage, and what insurance companies
had signitled willingness to take sea rises on
yesS els taken acrossby railway, and also wished
any American shipbuilder who had the idea
that he had ever built vessel of 1000 or more
tons displacement that, laden with cargo,
would stand the racket OF this land carriage
over the hills of Tehuantepec to boldly Hvowit.
Instead Of presenting this information relat-
ing to the point in dispute, Mr.. Corthell pub
fishes a long list Of persons averring their be-
lief in the precticability Of the shiprdilway,
and first on his list is Sir Edward Reed, who,
when before Il congressional committee In ad-
vocacy OF this ship railway. spoke as follows
lnein De madu'sv, because the great problem
you have to deal with is to trtusport this easily
| carried produce OF grain; | would say fling
away for moment the idea of q ship, and
make floating grain car which you can take
| overa railroadi regard II smply.as big cor for
| carrying Eraiui make 1t as strong as you like
| for railway purposes; make 1t whatever shape
| you like for railway purposes; and when you
have quite satisfied yourselfthat you can carry
your own grain in your own cars across the
| lsthmus, then will undertake to make that
| 20 as ship TO California on the one side or to
| New York on the other"
| Now, ] ask the American reader whether he
| regards such typical vessel as described by
| this eminent shipbuilder rs likely to compete
with British bottoms in carrying the trade Of
| the world?
| If Congress will grant an act TO incorporate
| the Nicaragua Canal Company divested Of any
| support or guarantee, see no injury in grant
| ing Capt. Esds not only IN act of incorpora'
| tion for his ship Railway, but as well, for O
| term Of years, bonus Of the same amount a.
| the freight dues paid by all American vessels
| of 1000 tons or moro that may pass over the
ship railway, of which am supposed to be an
| enemy. DAN'L AMMEN

TIE late George Peabody, by his will, left
$9OO, COO in bonds Of the state of Tennessee
TO the Peabody Institute OF Baltimore,
making one-half the endowment Of that
institution. As the readers of the Ma
TIoSAL REPUBLICAN, are aware the state has
neglected to provide for the interest on
these bonds, and the Peabody Institute is
thus deprived of one-half of its income.
The institute has appealed to the honor of
the state, and the gratitude 1t ought to feel
for Mr.. Peabody's vast benefactions to the
south, which Tennessee has enjoyed with
other southern states as motives for the
payment of this debt. Forty members Of
the Tennessee legislature Of 1888 addressed
a letter to the trustees Of the institute
recognizing the goodness, philanthropy,
and charity" Of Mr.. Peabody and the obli-
cation Of the debt, declaring that they had
done all in their power to have the bonds
paid, and hope that the next Legislature
will make provision for the payment of the
bonds in full, principal and interest.

The Egyp linn petroleum yields.

Consul Bisslnger, at Beirut, In recent
report to the Department OF State, says that
the preliminary and experimental borlngs
in the extensive oil regions on the littoral
Of the Red Sea are being pushed forward
with unabated vigor by the Egyptian gov
ernment. An efficient staff Of geologists,
mining engineers, and other experts from
the United States, Great Britain, and Bel
GUM, are busily at work, ably seconded by
experienced assistants from the American
and Russian oil fields.
Improved machinery and mechanical ap-
pliances of every description have recently
been landed at the newly constructed har-
Dor situated about two miles N. NE. OF the
petroleum wells. These wells are pools OF
a black-lookiug, bitumen-like substance
which emit an unmistakable odor and
"scent" the desert air for miles around.
The whole district from Gemsah IN the
south to over twenty miles north of Dlobel
Teyt presents every indication Of the pres
ence of oil, and when It is remembered that
oil was "struck" at a moderate depth at
the first boring, aud "lowing we'll" was
produced at greater depth at q subsequent
boring, there is every reason, 1t is claimed
hy thoee having devoted much time and
thought to the subject, to believe that the
fields contain petroleum deposits In such
abundance as to fully justify the immense
expenditures ventured In the elaborate
preliminary operations by the Egyptian
government.
A more recent report announces that well
No. at Gemsah Is now spoutlng pure
heavy petroleum at depth Of 125 feet.
This report, coupled with Consul Masonic
report concerning the proposed develop
ments of the Baku petroleum districts by
rich and powerful syndicate, will send I
shadow Of CONSERVATION over the petroleum
interests OF America.

deeked with plants, and a superb table was
laid In the dining room. Mrs. Lamar wore
a trained dress of black velvet, with q rose

REFERRING to the evictions in the Glen
beigh Qreland) district, the st. Louis Globe
Dcmouut says:
When an army burns houses in the line of It's
march II has at least the justification of posi-
bly, cxpediting peace by that means. But men
who, in time of peace, first use crowbars 10
break down doors and then fire dwellings to
prevent their being re-occupied by their starv.
ing tenants, put themselves beyond the pale of
civilized law. Judge Lynch is about the only
person competent to deal with them, and it is
a glowing tribute TO Irish patience and quick
ness TO forgive that his services are not in
voked. But II is hardly to be expected that
the "black column" will be forgotten as well
Os forgiven.

PROF. DAVID SWING delivered discourse
in Central Music Hall, Chicago, last Sunday,
on "The Poor People Of Chicago lie ar
gued that the savings banks were as potent
as the pulpit in working out a solution Of
the social problems of the day. In New
Hampshire, with only half the population OF
Chicago, there was, he said, more money In
the savings banks than In all Illinois, while
in Massachusetts, the aggregate savings OF
the poor amounted to $25,OOO,OOO, yet IN
Illinois there was only one'hfth of this
amount. This, the professor claimed, evil
denced the fact that not small part OF the
